Save the neck for me

For about 30 seconds, I actually had someone convinced today that we were having a great blue heron for Thanksgiving.

I was able to summon preparation and cooking instructions effortlessly, including straight-faced, convincing-sounding details.  I told a great story of the first time I ever tried it, and what the meat is like.  I am so full of shit.

(He said, proudly.)

It wasn’t until I started about next year maybe trying a herongretbin—that’s a robin inside an egret inside a heron—that she knew she was had.

  1. That sort of behavior out of you and the seemingly effortless way you summon such stories – is one of the few things I miss about working over there, man.

    Never lose the ability to be absolutely full of shit.
